We All Wear Mascs
with drag artist Jota Mercury
Monday May 24, 2021
6–7:30pm PT
About the Workshop
Attendees will explore the ways we can (and sometimes already do) wear masculinity! Take a journey through watching drag performances, sharing your own stories, and diving into nurturing discussions where you'll hear from myself, Jota Mercury, regarding my own connection with masculinity and how the world of drag urged me into self acceptance, love, and so much more.

A versatile performer, you never know what to expect with Jota Mercury.
